The IFM LMC410 is an electronic point-level sensor designed for liquid-level monitoring in compact process installations. It is configured for oil-based media and uses a rear-mounted G1/2 process connection. The sensor operates from 18...30 V DC and provides two programmable digital outputs. Its capacitive sensing principle allows electronic level detection without moving mechanical components. The compact 9.6 mm probe length makes it suitable for restricted installation spaces.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The LMC410 is designed for point-level monitoring of oil-based media. Its short 9.6 mm probe provides compact installation. The rear G1/2 process connection allows the sensor to be installed from the rear side. Capacitive sensing provides electronic detection. This is useful in small machine reservoirs and process systems.
The sensor provides two digital outputs. The outputs can be programmed for normally open or normally closed operation. This allows two independent level-related control functions. The sensor can therefore provide additional control flexibility compared with a single-output level switch. It is suitable for PLC-based automation.
The LMC410 uses an M12 connector. The 18...30 V DC supply is compatible with common industrial control systems. The sensor belongs to the LMC electronic level-sensor family. It is designed for industrial applications and oil-based media. This makes it suitable for machine fluid monitoring.

The short probe length makes the LMC410 useful in compact assemblies. Rear mounting helps when access is limited from the front. The G1/2 process connection provides a standardized installation interface. Capacitive sensing eliminates moving level components. This provides a low-maintenance level-monitoring arrangement.
Two programmable outputs provide flexible level-control possibilities. One output can be assigned to a high-level function while another can support a different control point. Output functions can be selected according to the machine requirement. The sensor connects directly to industrial control equipment. This supports automated fluid-management systems.
